Yesterday, I was going through one of my old diaries and found this piece of work. This was written by me when I was in senior secondary school. I couldn’t control my laughter and immediately wanted to share this. Please excuse me for my emotional outburst at some places. Hope you enjoy them.. ;)











1      Kohre me khushboo aaj bhi hai,
        Raat me khamoshi aaj bhi hai,
        Adhuri si kuch baat aaj bhi hai,
        Tumhari yaad ka toh pata nahi par aankhon me aasun aur intezar aaj bhi hai..


2      Haadso ki kadwahat ko kismat ka naam dete chale gaye,
        Ek ittefaq se wo is bewatan ki zindagi me aaye,
        Aur usi ittefaq se wo hamari manzil bante chale gaye..



3      Yaadon ke saaye me sukun kisne paaya hai,
        Hamare jaisa dard ishq me kisne paaya hai,
        Wo toh jee baithe hamare bina zindagi,
        Hamara dard toh khuda bhi nahi puchhne aaya hai..



4      Chup rehne par bhi khamoshi me ik shor hai,
        Hamare jaisa ishq karne wala shayad hi is duniya me koi aur hai,
        Hamara waqt nikalta hai unki fariyad karke aur wo kehte hai ki
        Tumhare jaise ashiq toh kai aur hai..



5       Pyaar ki raaho me yun laapta naa hote,
         Agar dil lagane ki khatta naa karte,
         Pata hota kuch manzil ka apna,
         Agar izzhare mohabbat kuch pehle karte..



Lots of love,
Mrinal

PS- I don’t indulge in such shayari anymore.. :D

Nature around us is perfect example of Unity even after having so much of diversity. I always wonder how much effort it takes for us to move together. We are generally bound to our concepts that don’t allow us to grow and bring forth our hands for joining more hands. There is always a set of people with whom our frequency matches and there is another set with whom things are entirely different. But my point is how big this difference is that we start to partway our niches.

Although in urban world discrimination on the basis of religion is quite uncommon, mainly because of education and interdependency, but still it exists. This is one of the most unfortunate things because it creates a wall that can’t be brought down with ease. In fact a truly spiritual or religious person would strongly condemn this discrimination. People have often misinterpreted secularism; this is the favorite pawn in Indian politics, I would rather say deciding factor for power. Being secular doesn’t mean that you don’t have a religion instead it mean that I follow my religion and respect others religion too. No God is going to get angry if being a Hindu you say ‘Allah’ or ‘Christ’, all these concepts are brewed by some religious fanatics or insecure priests. Today writing this blogpost I realize that I ve friends of almost all religion and it is almost unimaginable my life without them. It is always great joy to get acquainted to their rituals and culture.

It is also evident that there are much discrimination that is based upon our own notions and judgmental intellect. We have a set of frame of fixed dimension in which we try to fit things (people), if anything doesn’t fit it is often molded as per convenience or label as ‘unfit for use’ and discarded. Many of us would agree that it is normal ‘Human tendencies’ but I would like to phrase it as ‘Human acquired tendencies’. The reason for this is that a kid never has such tendencies; he will smile and radiate love with same innocence to everyone; he can become friend to anyone instantly. It is only in the process of growing up that we lose these qualities and get into all sort wrong tendencies. And it is for sure that all of us would agree that in childhood life was much easy and fun than it is now. But when it comes to compliment the cause of shift nobody sees change in their perspective.! We should not barter our innocence for maturity; we should keep both of them. As friendliness was our nature being a child, it shouldn’t wither with age. If another person is being squeamish then we should not lose our innocence and have compassion, this I feel is real maturity. In the race to even-up things we ruin many things knowingly and unknowingly.

If in school/college/workplace/etc. you have 30 people around you and in them you have 5 best friends then it shouldn’t make others unimportant. Being fastidious never benefits us in long run, we should not get into nepotism/cronyism. 
 
We often complaint that the world is much not the way we expect it to be. We always blame others for it but seldom look into ourselves. We need to be part of change that we want to see in society. We need to have sense of belongingness. A fist always has more power than open five fingers. For this we need to broaden our vision and deepen our roots. Life is too short for differences.

Well here is my first blog post and I am no exception to the fact that I have to brainstorm over the title to my first blog. Here is the word I narrowed down- ‘Radiance’ as the dictionary says it is state of being radiant. Radiance is about emission or rather glowing but I am more interested in its figurative meaning which implies teeming with joy, love and hope.

There are many times in life when we don’t look to outside world as our own, we lack belongingness. It may sound extremely justified to be self-centered at times, after all it’s a competitive world and we have full right to think about ourselves. But if we look at it closely, in this whole process we somehow get deviated from our nature. There are various tendencies that may slowly grip our mind like insecurities, anger and depression.

Our nature is to spread love and joy unconditionally. Infact, we should be emitting incessantly all these expressions. It creates an aura which not only uplifts your spirit but all the people around you feel good and to be a part of your company. We should be having no strings or inhibitions to our happiness because making it conditional we are merely postponing it.

By this instance I don’t mean you have to drop the idea of being competitive but all I want to convey is that we drop the conventional way of competing. We need to learn new way of moving ahead as a matter of fact we need move ahead ‘together’. Put in our sincere efforts, pray for a bigger cause and then see the results in our own life.

So learn to be happy, joyful and loving right now, let it flow gushingly, let it ornate you and if people around you are still in the web of conditional happiness then atleast allow yourself to be a reason for it in this way..

Lots of love,
Mrinal
